The kits are the first birth since the animals were brought back for the first time in 400 years
Environmentalists are celebrating after beavers were born in Nottinghamshire for the first time in 400 years.
A group of Scottish beavers were reintroduced to Idle Valley Nature Reserve last year, and Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust said one pair had successfully produced baby kits.The beavers are having a "positive impact" on the surrounding area, the charity said. They were originally living on the River Tay in Scotland before being transported to their new home in the north of the county.Janice Bradley, from the trust, said the beavers had helped them "control water levels and expand our conservation grazing programme", adding she is "delighted with the impact they have had so far".
"The discovery by our monitoring team that we have new kits earlier than expected is a great way to round off the year," she said.
